Florida? Ohio? Indiana? I think Indiana will go Obama when the NW Urban area comes in. It should break heavy Democratic and so hopefully we'll know something soon.
Tennessee has been called for McCain. No Surprise there. Polls are closing in more states. Kansas has been called for McCain. Minnessota, Wisconson, Michigan to Obama
Wyoming and North Dakota (a tossup state) have gone to McCain.
Still looking for a call in Indiana as this could be a flip.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Dole lost her Senate seat as it goes Democratic.
Alabama - 9 votes to McCain as is Georgia with 15 votes. Come on Indiana.
McCain's strategy has now cracked as Obama has been called for Obama. They spent so much time there and this is a blow to the candidates efforts. This is however a defensive win for Obama. It is after all a Blue state so it isn't a steal.
Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island, Connecticut, D.C., Pennsylvania now all in Obama's Column.
Democrats pick up a seat Senate seat in New Hampshire.
McCain winner in Oklahoma, South Carolina, Kentucky.
Less then 30 minutes till more polls closing. Still looking for a sign, a tangible sign other then Obama playing well in several Red states. Looking for that first instance of one candidate or the other punching through and turning a state. Until this happens, we don't know enough to anticipate the outcome.
My own state (Missouri) closes at the top of the hour but it will likely be close and therefore late before the results are known. MSNBC calling South Carolina for McCain but totally expectable.
Watching the election returns as the polls in the east have started closing and initial returns have not told a lot but there is a whisper of hints.
Two states appear to have gone as expected Vermont with 3 electoral votes to Obama and Kentucky with 8 votes to McCain. What is would tell us more would be Virginia and Illinois. Both are close at this point. Both were Red states and both have been considered states that are in play and perhaps attainable for Obama. Illinois has an urban area in northwestern part of the state and as long as we stay close till those returns are in then the state will remain in play.
